“South Africa were really pumped up and they got back into shape very quickly. Spain, even with all their riches, were playing a little bit too slow and South Africa were able to pick them off.” Baxter and current Bafana coach Gordon Igesund share the unfortunate statistic of not being able to guide their teams to the World Cup.
The Briton left his role as Bafana coach after he was unable to qualify the team for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, while Igesund missed out on qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Nevertheless, Baxter was confident Igesund was the right man for the job and insisted that under the former Moroka Swallows mentor, South Africa would continue to develop their enterprising style.
“The league is better organised, the coaching is better. Players are understanding systems of play and we’re growing a type of football that I think is interesting,” Baxter said.
“It’s quick, there’s pace and we’re attaching a little bit of em
phasis on our defending, and therein, we’re getting more transitions and I think that’s an interesting way of playing for South Africa.
